Mademoiselle ADELINA PATTI as i LSI 11. Madlle. ADELINA PATTI will return with fresh laurels gathered during the recess. This young Artiste has, during the past winter, visited her native city of Madrid, in which capital she was born on March 19th, 1843, and where, as it well be imagined, the display of her wonderful talents was received with the most unbounded enthusiasm by her co nipattioles. Madlle. PATTI was honoured by several personal inter views with her Majesty the Queen of Spain, she received Is anY distinguished marks of favour from the Nobility and Gentry,while the Public, notwithstanding that the prices of admission to the Opera were raised beyond all former pre cedent in Madrid, filled the theatre to overflowing on every night of representation. On the 19th of August last, when the Congress of Ger man Potentates met in the City of Frankfort.on-the- Maine, Madlle, Patti received the distinguished honour of being specially summoned to perform on the occasion of the Grand Gala Fete given by the Authorities of that city to the assembled Sovereigns. As expressed in the journals of the day Madlle. Patti literally sang to a "Parterre de Princes." From Madrid Madlle. Patti proceeded to Paris, and is there fulfilling her second engagement to the satisfaction and delight of the abonnees of the Theatre Italien. The Repertoire of Madlle. PATTI, of unusual extent for se Young an Artiste, now includes the Operas of " La Son natabala," Luci di Lammermoor," "La Traviata," " 4 ` Martha," "Don Pasquale," " Di ror ah," "Il Barbiere," Do Giovanni," "La Gazza Lad ra ," &c. I n a dditi on to t hese, n Madlle. PATTI Mill appear in the characters of Adina in "L'Elisir d'Amore," and in that of Maria in "La Figlia del Reogiment o " which she performed, for the first time, at th e close of last ' season • she will also appear, and for the fi rs t time, in the part of 'Susannah in " Le Nozze di M F igaro," and in argherita in Gounod's Opera of " Faust." lle PA CLINE . It is indeed a rare Mademoise event in the annals of LUCCA the lyric stage that two young Artistes of extraordinary and commanding talents should appear for the first time almost simulta neously as candidates for public favour. About the same period that Madlle. PATTI made her first appearance at the Royal Italian Opera, Covent Garden, the musical world of Germany was sounding the praises of a ~.,Young Artiste who just then had made her debut at the -"°Yal Opera at Berlin. This debutante was Mdlle. PAU. LINE LtfocA—her youth, her beauty. and her wonderful v oice, soon pl aced her securely in public favour, and in a VerY short time the Prussian Government presented her with an engagement for ten years. The Director of the Royal Italian Opera was naturally anxious to afford an oPnertunity to his subscribers to hear so interesting an Artiste, and t owar d s the end of last Season, was enabled Dire procure (by special favour) of the Royal Hof-Theator ction of Berlin, permission for Madlle. Lucca, to give t hree representations in London. The success which at tended the young Artiste on the occasion of these three performances will not easily be forgotten by these who witnessed them. Madlle. LUCCA returned to Berlin full of honours and succeeded in obtaining, by Royal favour, an annual conge of three oths ;adit is thus that Mr. GYe has been able to securee n her ser n vices for the greater portion of his coming season. Madlle Lucca. will make her debut in Meyerbeer's opera " Les Huguenots." She will then perform the cha- Practer of Margherita in Gounod's Opera of " Faust ;" then at of Cherubino in Mozart's Opera, " Le Nozze di <<; afterwa r d s th at o f M rs . F or d i n Ni co l a y' s Op era , The Merry Wives of Windsor • and lastly the great r ole, of C a t arina in Meyerbeer's Grand Historical Opera, "-*L'Etoile du Nord." Mademoiselle EMILIA LAGRUA. It has never been the habit of the Director of the Royal tltalian Opera to herald forth the praises of Artistes about o make their first appearance at his Theatre, however great heir continental reputations may have been; and in the case i e of the engagement of Mademoiselle Lagrua it is not 4 ntentio n to depart from this custom any farther than t o express a ye y confident hope that this Artiste will sus in London the reputation which she now enjoys abroad, viz. —that of being, in the Opera Seria, by far the greateat dramatic singer of the period. Mademoiselle Lagrua will 'arrive early in the Season, and,‘ make her first appearance in the character of Norma, She will also sustain the character of Leonora in "La .orita," Donna Anna in "Don Giovanni," Leonora in vaFt 'dello," Desdemona in 4 , Otello," Leonora in " Tro _orore," and the principal role in Verdi's new Opera "La Forza zdaurdel Destino," which was originally composed for Pe.tersbiuergg.her engagement at the Imperial Theatre of St. time those who, this Season, will solicit for the first time the approbation of an English audience are— Mademoiselle DESTINN (From the Imperial Opera of Vienna) Mademoiselle GIUSE FPINA TAT T. (From the Royal Opera at Lisbon) Mademoiselle GARULLI (From La Scala, at Milan) Signor SCALESE (From the Theatre Italian, at Paris) Signor ATTRI (From La Pergola, at Florence) and Herr SCHMID (From the Imperial Opera, at Vienna). The appearance of Signor WACHTEL may also be con eidered as a debut, unavoidable circumstances having ob liged him t o return to G ermany after having appeared but three times at the Itcyal Italian Opera in the Season o f 1862, Since that time Signor Wachtel has become at tached to the Imperial Opera, at Vienna, under an en gagement of six years duration, interrupted only by a short 'Annual conge. Signor WACHTEL will make his debut in the character of Manrico, in " Trovatore ;" he will:then;perf orm th a t of A.rnoldo in " Guglielmo Tell ;" arid afterwards the role °f Jean de Leyden in Meyerbeer's Grand Opera, " La a-rophete.,, No twithstanding these new engagements, it will be ob served that the many favourite Artistes, whose talents have so leo supported the Royal Italian Opera, have b een re tained, and that the Director is thereby enabled to re 'cast many of the Operas, and to impart to them an unprece dented strength and completeness. M ademoiselle MARIE BATTU, now holding the high Position of chief Prima Donna at the Academie Imperiale de Musique in Paris, will p er f orm f or th e fi rst t i me, the Character of ' La Canteen ' in Mozart's Opera of " L e N ozze Figaro."

This Grand Opera was written and composed by the ex press command of his Majesty the Emperor of Rus=ia, and was produced with the greatest eclat at the Imperial Opera et' Mt. Petersburg last year. The four principal roles were composed exp:essly for the following Artistes, viz. : Madlle. LA.GRUA, Madame DIDTEE,SIgnor GRAZIANI, and Signor T , MBE And these same Artistes will sustain the FIRM characters, on the production of the Work at the Royal Ita lan Opera. Production of MEYERBEER'S Grand Historical Opera, L'ETOILE DU NORD. It will be remembered that this chef d'ceuvre of the great composer was produced in the latter par of the Season of 1855. It had only been performed on Seven occasions when the calamitous burning of the old Theatre took place, entirely consuming the immense mass of material so lately prepared for its representation. It may, therefore, be regarded as almost a new Work in this country. Since tree erection of the present Theatre, four out of the five great Works of MEYERBEER have been reproduced, viz.—" Les Huguenots," "Le Prophete," "Dinorah," and "Roberto i 1 Diavol •." The fifth, viz.—" L'Etoile du Nord," will be given during the present Season, and will be mounted with entirely Nt w Scenery, Costumes and Appointments. The Part of Caterina by Madlle. PAULINE LUCCA.

This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important towns, as well as the prosperous condition and increasing population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to be rich in yield and avove average value ; whilst around the Coast there are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation ; and the quality of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the lino will be at St. John's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brought by land-carriage (there being no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of nearly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as well as all necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, Castletown t Ramsey, and Laxey : Douglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and' the transit by the existing means ex pensive. The access to the Island is easy, and the means of com• munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above 100,000 passengers having been landed at its Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per manent place of residenee. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel. The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot. with much care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic will re turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital, The fol lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists £7,500 per annum. Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c 5,500 Parcels and Mails £13,150 Working Expanses at even 50 per Cent. 6,500 Leaving for Dividend MAO Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in accordance with the St: nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament; Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the vane of Railway property in England and other countries, no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this Lino. An rminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase the land. make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations, furnish-Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs, upon satisfactory terms. Interest at 5 per cent. per Annum will be allowed, until the opening of the Line, on the amount paid upon shares. An advantageous arrangement can be made with respon sible parties to Lease the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years. Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company. THE ISLE OF MAN RAILWAY COMPANY (Limited , .

The Company will undertake the construction of Rail ways and o her public works as die incu shed trom the busi ness of the Contract Corporation, which consists principally of the negotiation and acceptance of contracts, and the finan cial measures connected therewith. _ 3. The two Companies will work in harmony, but inde pendently of each other. 4. The opera' ions of this Company will be conducted by the eminent contractors Messrs. Smith and Knight, who have transferred their whole business and interest on highly ad- Vantagcous terms; all their valuable plant and existing contracts (including that for the construction of the Royal Sardinian Railway recently entered into) being ceded to the Company. The plant will be paid for in cash, and the re maining interest principally in shares, such shares being taken with £5 only per share credited thereon. 5. The numerous applications to Parliament in the present se-stun for powers to c nistru I branch and ad itional rail ways, and the well-known increasing demand for railways and other public works, not only in Europe and the colonies. but in all parts of the civilised world, open a wide field fer the profitable employment of capital. 6. The Direc ors consider that, wl h all the elements of success, viz., a large working capital, the assistance of a powerful financial corporation, caupled with the experience an i superintendence of parties conversant with the practical details of the business, with an identity of interest, the pros pects of the Company are such as are seldom brought under public notice, 7. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the deposit will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

The Bonds are redeemable in New York or in London at 4s. 6d. per dollar, and are transferable Ni ithout stamp or en dorsement ; 4 per cent. of the gross amount will he drawn yearly in July, commencing in 1865, to be pa'd off at par in London ; Interest Coupons are attached to the Bonds, pay able semi-annually, at the Consolidated Lank in London, at the fixed rate of 4s. to the dollar. The Bonds will be issued at 70. viz.:— Bonds of 100 dole. at £l5 155., with interest Irani April, 1, IS6I. 11 503 9. £78155., „ IP 1,000 „ £157108 ., 19 These Coupons represent £l4 per annum on each bond of 1,000 dollars (£225), or nearly 9 per cent. on price of issue. TO THE BONDHOLDERS OF THE ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. When the First Mortgage Bonds of the Pennsylvania Sec tion of this Railway were issued, it was uncertain whether the Company would proceed immediately with the construc tion of the road beyond Akron (in which case arrangements would have been made with other Companies for the com pleting link from thence to Dayton), or at once push forward the whole line, and so keep the command of the traffic. The business of the i ortion of the road between Salamanca and Akron, and of the branches, developed so. rapidlV - ,11 - eintt only limited by the upply of Rolling Stock, that the Direc tors decides to open the Railway throughout its whole ex tent with all possible despatch. This policy, under their able engineer, Mr. Kennard, has been so energetically carried out that the line is now in operation as far as Ga ion, and will be ready for traffic to Dayton by the Ist ot May. It has therefore become desirable to offer the Second Mortgage Bonds some months earlier than was contemplated when tue last issue of Bonds was made. In order, however, that the original subscribers to, or the present holders of, the First Mortgage Bond may in no way ce be prejud.d by this issue of the Second Mortgage. it is pro posed to give to existing holders the privilege ot subscribing for these Bonds, at the rate of one Band for every two now held, at a concession in price equal to a liberal Bonus. In May the whole system of this Railway will be in opera tion, consisting of— The Main Line from Salamanca to Dayton 385 miles The Branch to Cleve'and The Franklin Branch and the Oil Creek Railway 65 „ In all abort 106 mica—of which 302 have been successfully worked during the winter. On the Ist of May it is intended to run Express Trains through from New York, via the Erie, Atlantic and Great Western, Cincinnati, Hamilton, and Dayton, and Ohio and Mils'ssippi Railways, to St. Louis -1,2u0 miles, in 40 hours, without break of gauge or change of carriages. The income of the por'ion of the line opened has reached £3O per mi e per week - within cne year of the opening of the through route the receipts will be £6O per mile per week— which will give 4. dividend on the shares exceeding 25 per cent., after providing for all expenditure and the interest on the whole issue of Bonds Dividends from 15 to 25 per cent. are not unusual on well constructed and properly administered American Railways ; from the numerous elements of prosperity he'd by the At lantic and Great Western, it is believed that the mileage re ce'pts will shortly equal those cf the London and North- Western and other leading Eng'ish Railways, whose cost of construction has been four-fold - greater. The Atlantic and Great Western has almost a monopoly of the Petroleum traffic, and passes over the most extensive bituminous coal fields in the world, for which an unlimited market is about being opened in Canada ; and for its traffic in agricultural products a ,eading American authority says that when some contemplated extensions are made, " lc,oo eight wheeled freight cars and 500 locomotives will not suffice."

There will remain only the Second Mortgage of the Ohio division, to be disposed of hereafter, when the total of the Bonded Debt will be only £6,000 per mile. _ _ _ Forns of appfcation may be obtained of the Bankers ; or at the Offices of the Company, No. 2, Old Broad street, London, E.C.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. Yesterday the War Department transport Marl• borough lefi, the Ordnance Wharf, Chatham, with the main deck guns for the Irresistible, 68, 400- horse power, consisting of 24 32-pounders, each of 56 cwt. The Irresistible is being fitted for Coast guard service at Southampton Water, relieving the Dauntless. An official notice has been posted at Chatham dockyard gates that, by direction of the Admiralty, the whole of the hired workmen and mechanics be longing to the establishment will be discharged on the 31st inst. and re-entered at the dockyard on the following day. This regulation, it appears, has been adopted by the Admiralty in order to prevent any question hereafter arising with respect to a claim for superannuation. The Bombay, 67, 2,782 tons, 400-horse power, has been commissioned at Chatham by Captain Colin A. Campbell (25th of March, 1863). She is to have a compliment of 655 officers and men, in cluding Royal Marines. The Bombay is i n t en d ed for a flagship on the south-east coast of America. The following is the number of hired mechanics, artisans, and labourers at Chatham dockyard for whom provision has been made in the Estimates for 1864-65: —Shipwrights, 500; sawyers, 80; joinerr, 60; painters, 30; other trades, 1,584 — total, 2,254. , . The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : — Commander William Dawson, to the Formidable, for service in the Achilles; Lieut. W. H. M. Molyneux, to the Research ; Lieut. H. A. Monteath, to the Defence; James G. G. Sim moods, paymaster, to the Blenheim; William G.

The Volunteer Review on Esttl' Ma ' - - '4l" The general outlines of the Volunteer 1. - evlitstrACE be held near Guildford on Easter Mondatare tacky ' , a - sufficiently well ataangen to be made public. From the applications forwarded to the War-office it would appear that at least 15,000 men are anxious to take part in the day's proceedings, and that the evolutions of the troops will be supported by 24 pieces of artillery. The field of action is rather limited for such an imposing force, but it is believed that the plan agreed upon will afford scope for them to manoeuvre with effect; and, as far as the spec tators are concerned, the conflict will certainly be brought much more nearly under their view than on any of the previous enniversary displays of a sirnilar character. As already stated, the troops reaching Pairley-heath by different railway routes from the metropolis will be kept distinct during the day, and , massed in separate divisions. Those travelling by the South Eastern line to Shalford, having the shortest distance to march before arriving upon the Common, will be pushed en to its further extremity, and these, facing about and fronting the quarter from which they came, will represent the attacking force. The volunteers using the South Western Railway, and having to march some three or four miles from Guildford, will, on the other hand, be compensated by finding themselves in position almost as soon as they emerge upon the Heath, where they will assume a defensive attitude. So far matters are settled. But the actual movements which the Volunteers will be called on to undertake from th:a point must be governed by what the officer in com mand finds to be practicable within a given time after the Volunteers have assembled, and also by the extent of the force at his disposal. The belief at ' present is that after some preliminary movements of a strategic character on both sides, the left wing of the attacking force will be detached and sent through ,the woods by a eircuitoukpath to fall on the right of the -defending army, and'vtbat thellatter,ibreed by - this assault to show an entirely new front, will be gradually pressed back till it reaches the vicinity of the Grand Stand, upon which as an impregnable fortress it will halt and quietly proceed to march past, an example commending itself to the approval and adoption of its late opponent. Lieut.-General Sir S. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., will command in chief, and under his orders will be Mejor-General Russell, C. 8., and Major-General Rnmley, each hav ing charge of a division. There are to be eight bri gades in all under the following brigadiers—Lord Colville, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Elcho, Earl Gros venor, Lord Radstock, Lord Bury, Lieut.-Colonel Bigge, and Lieut.-Colonel Loyd Lindsay. The ar tillery force will be handled at one side by Colonel Gambier, C,8., and at the other by Col. Buchanan. Of the 24 pieces of artillery to be brought into the field six 18-pounders will be contributed from Brighton; the rest, consisting of six 6-pounders, eight 18-pounders, and four 24-pounders, will be furnished by the Hon. Artillery Company and by the regiments of Middlesex Artillery. The public are to have a means of approach distinct from that allotted to the Volunteers. The latter will take possession of a row known as Phillip's-lane, leading from Shalford-common, where the brigades are to be formed on the arrival of the different corps. Sample Oak-lane, running direct from the Chilwort h station to the Heath, will be reserved for the public, and the position of the spectators will enable them, on arriving upon the ground, not only to command a favourable view of the day's manoeuvres, but to approach very close to Phillip's-lane, the route along which the Volunteers must move from and to the stations either of the South-Eastern or South-West ern Railway. The Grand Statd occupies a promi• nent position upon an eminence known as Roast Meat-hill, and facing this it is proposed to erect capacious refreshment booths. This is the depart ment in which at present there appears to be greatest need for organisation, and for the credit and com fort of all concerned the interval remaining before Easter Monday ought to be turned to good account.

Two WHO WERE NEARLY DRAGGED INTO A DUEL RY A—" LADIES' CHAIN !"—Much amusement has beeen excited at B russels at the idea of a kind of duel which was nearly taking place at Ghent between two ladies of that place. The husband of Madame de S. belongs to the clerical party, while the other lady, Madame de M., is married to a Liberal. These two ladies being at a ball, it so chanced that the former had to stand opposite the latter in a cotillon, which she would only consent to do on condition that she should not give her hand to her ad versary, and she was therefore to be seen going through all the figures in which she ought to have joined hands with her arms folded. The affair caused a considerable sensation. Oa the following day M. de S. called on M. de M. to make an apology for the conduct of his wife, when he received for answer that the matter did not concern him (M. do M.). and that Madame de S. ought to sop d her seconds to his wife to arran ge th e a ff a i r . Th a t was done, and the emissaries were told th a t th e i ns ult having been public, the reparation s h ou ld b e so lik ew i se . Negotiations were however entered into, and a decision was at length come to that at a party at which the ladies were shortly to meet, Madame de S. should personally apologise to Madame de M,, which was done, and honour was declared to be satisfied.
